Smoking


Firstly, I have to state that, by smoking 30 cigarettes for about 10 years now I considered being a social smoker or maybe a heavy one as well. Now days though, smoker or not everyone have a certain idea as well as some kind of responsibility towards what smoking is and does. I don’t believe there is anyone, who had lived in a civilized world for the last 5 years at least and don’t know what are the basic effects of smoking on someone’s mental/physical health and environment. In addition, I also believe that no one can honestly say that smoking is good or bad. In contrast you can suggest that, many people may smoke for the wrong reasons or in a bad way. Not everybody is in the position to decide for them selves, think about others or their selves and take responsibility upon their actions. Finally I also feel that, smokers always have to consider and respect others’ health and personal rights, especially those of non-smokers; as long as there is the corresponding consideration and respect for smokers as well. Claims such as, smoking must be banned also in the privacy of our own home, just sound absurd to me. Lets not forget that, any individual can be consider to have the freedom of choice, but that freedom is not unlimited, one’s freedom stop where someone else’s begins.
